For extra crispy skin, ensure the chicken is completely dry before applying the spice mixture. Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. If your chicken is too large, you may need to cook it in batches or use a larger air fryer. Feel free to adjust the spice blend to your liking. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a touch of heat, or use smoked paprika for a deeper flavor. Ensure the chicken is fully defrosted before cooking. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature.
